When I Reflect

Finding uplifting and inspirational sols for use by young vocalist can be a challenge. This new collection is designed to fill that need with songs that are motivational and inspirational in content. The stirring strains of American Hymn (by Carl Strommen) will evoke the patriotism of any audience, and the call to heroism in daily life heard in May I Be a Hero (by Ruth Elaine Schram) will appeal to the idealism characteristic of most young people. The feeling of appreciation for teachers, mentors and parents is evident in the heartfelt words and music of When I Reflect (by Ruth Elaine Schram), The Gifts you've Given to My Life and We really Never Say Goodbye (both by Greg Gilpin). The inspirational message of Let There Be Peace On Earth (arranged by Mark Hayes) couldn't be timelier and will always have an appropriate place in performances all over the world. Take me Home (by Carl Strommen) hymns the value of love of home and Climb Your Own Rainbow (by Sunnie Miller and Elissa Oppenheim Schreiner; arranged by Carl Strommen and If You Search (by Ruth Elaine Schram) will help self-motivation take root in the performer and challenge all audiences to strive for higher achievement in life. This is a collection to use and cherish. A CD with complete performances and accompaniment only tracks is included
